Minutes are also available from both villages. BTW Bonnie Carter gave no prior notification to the private lake's owners. Carter attempted this circumvented, zoning attempt covertly. If someone was pursuing any agenda, why would they need to do it covertly?

She told Circle of Blue that the plan had input from an “extremely diverse” group. The next step will be to encourage local governments to adopt the plan at the local level, Carter said. “Being an elected official outside of this role, I think the intention of many elected officials and the stakeholder groups is to talk the plan up, to integrate it into our zoning and our comprehensive plans and our watershed plans, and to move the effort into getting groups together to address theses water-related issues outside of our boundaries,” she said. ***** Water, zoning, and outside of our boundaries........ People should understand this politician can not be trusted. Bonnie Carter lied to area villages in Lake County claiming they could adopt special regulations over water beyond village corporate borders via misuse of state statute 65 ILCS 5/7-4-4-4, contrary to limitations already placed upon the villages outlined in 65 ILCS 5/11-13-1, forcing senseless litigation. State legislators stepped in to stop the waste and adopted clarification bill HB3441 in August 2008 (95-0852), clarifying villages attempting to adopt special regulations beyond borders over water was in fact an illegal form of government in Illinois. www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=3441&GAID=9&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=32312&SessionID=51&GA=95 Trust this politician as far as you can throw her, including when it comes to water issues and zoning. “Bonnie Thomson Carter, who chaired the planning group, also serves as a Lake County Board member and president of the Lake County Forest Preserves.

This should be the case in other states. instead of dispute, why not work together to make things better for everybody. well glad to hear that people are working hand in hand and not arguing about water.
